At Data Journalism UK 2016 Andy Dickinson provided an insight into the ways that data journalism is being used at a hyperlocal level. Here are his slides.
2. THE MEDIA MILL
PROJECT
The Media Mill project aims to drive the development of open
source, open data platforms in Leeds and York; enable
collaboration between all partners to identify ways that local
data can be transformed into media experiences (with an
emphasis on mobile) that have value for citizens; and support
research into the various business propositions that surround
the project with a view to sustaining a thriving hyperlocal media
ecology for the city-region.
3. OPEN GOVERNMENT DATA
“Public Sector information that has been made available to
the public as open data”
“Open data and content can be freely used, modified, and
shared by anyone for any purpose”

10. HYPERLOCAL DATA JOURNALISM
a community driven, civically informed process of creating,
developing and exploiting social and economic value at a local
level through the use of open government data and the enabling
processes of data journalism.
12. URBSMEDIA
There are a lot of very simple, easy to understand numbers out there that no
one has used as a source of information. Within them are not huge smoking
guns about power and corruption but just some interesting facts about the way
we are, who we are, where we live and how we live. It is almost low hanging
fruit that a more traditional data journalist who is highly investigatory focused
would just walk past and ignore as being not interesting enough. I think there is
a consumer interest in doing that.
